Chow Rec's For Louisville

My son will be attending Louisville in August so I thought I would put together a list with your help. Are there places he should not miss? (He will have a car) Born and raised in Southern California in a chowhound house the kid is going to need help!Thanks in advance.

I second the rec for Lynn's, especially for breakfast. Close to U of L's campus, I stumbled on the Third Avenue Cafe (it's actually on Third St.) and it was very good and not very pricey (thirdavecafe.com). For a sweet treat, I love (I mean, I would seriously marry this place!) the Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen. There are a couple of locations around town, but the one I've been to is on Bardstown Rd. (piekitchen.com)

As a student, he'll more likely be able to afford the fine sushi at Cafe Mimosa on Bardstown Rd. I like that place a lot.Also, the kid needs to know about Flabby's Schnitzelberg in the old Germantown section of Louisville. Just tell him to go. His friends will be impressed that he knows such a great, old-school tavern with truly great food.
